Oooooh!

I want to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mofo]

I am so happy to see that the prices are so much more reasonable than what they were for Pearl Jam and the Rolling Stones!!!

I love these guys!

I am really amazed by the prices aztec stadium is going to be surreal

 

[Axver]

300 MXP? That's cheaper than the cheapest in Australia, which was previously the cheapest U2 tickets anywhere in the world. Wow.

Also, GA in the stands in Monterrey?

 

[Carek1230]

I thought you stand in the GA not GA in the stands!

 

[Halup]

There are a lot of stadiums that do GA in the stands. Your ticket is for a particular set of seats and from there, it's first come, first served. Morumbi Stadium in Sao Paulo is like this, so the majority, if not all tickets, will be GA, but your ticket will designate where you are to stand or sit within your GA section.

 

[rafmed]

Some stadiums in Europe also have this arrangement.

 

[kennerado]

115,000 is the official capacity of the Estadio Azteca. Wow that will be some amazing show!

 

[pepokiss]

300 MXP? That's cheaper than the cheapest in Australia, which was previously the cheapest U2 tickets anywhere in the world. Wow.

wait until the prices here.,..

from rumors given to me GA should cost 21.000 pesos, or up to 25, but nothing else.... that's about 35 dollars

 

[rafmed]

300 MXP are 28 US Dollars

[U2FanPeter]

Will they go 2 nights in Mexico City?

Will it be annouced as "only North American shows of 2006!!!"

u2fp

 

[Shag On A Rock]

Mexico is in Central America.

 

[U2FanPeter]

The online wikipedia encyclopedia says otherwise.

 

[Shag On A Rock]

Wikipedia is written by people online. We need a real encyclopaedia.

This is going to bug me all morning

 

[Shag On A Rock]

Okay. I stand corrected. Mexico is geographically on Central America but politically in North America. I do apologise.

 

[Axver]

Will they go 2 nights in Mexico City?

Will it be annouced as "only North American shows of 2006!!!"

u2fp

Probably the "only North American shows of the entire Vertigo Tour!!!"

 

[U2FanPeter]

Mexico: "Start of Southern Hemisphere tour, only North American shows of 2006....except Hawaii"

Shall we start writting the u2.com headlines?

If they play MOFO: "Monterray Pop Festival....."
